Stop a nuclear disaster

Hi ,

Our government is churning out one hazardous bill after another. This time it is a bill called the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage, and it's coming up for a vote in a couple of days.

The bill lets U.S. corporations off the hook for any nuclear accidents they cause on Indian soil. They'd only have to pay a meagre amount, and Indian taxpayers would be stuck paying crores for the nuclear clean up and to compensate the victims.

Without any public debate, the Prime Minister is appeasing American interests and ignoring our safety.

Greenpeace is launching a petition asking the PM to hold a public consultation before introducing the bill.

I have already signed this petition. Can you join me?

Raavan is a complete film - Vikram

'Raavan’ is the next big film that is going to hit theaters in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. With huge star cast like Abhishek Bachchan, Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Govinda, Prithvi Raj and Priyamani, Maniratnam is crafting this film based on the epic of Ramayan with modern approach.

Vikram recently spoke to the media and said, “I worked with many great directors so far. But Maniratnam is a special man. My role in ‘Raavan’ is very unique. Although I consider all my films as my soul, particularly in this film I did every scene with great concentration as I wanted my role to appear with perfection. On other hand, Maniratnam too takes great care when it comes to film-making. To tell a few words about Aishwarya Rai, I needn’t have to say that she is beautiful but she appears even more beautiful in this film. Especially in a few scenes one finds like a painting. She is so flexible that I was surprised to see her giving few dance poses with such great ease. ‘Raavan’ is a complete film and am sure that it will reach the expectations of the people from all walks of life.”
